the yells and grOans louder, if possible,
than ever. Mr.. O'Brien ATTEMPTED to
take refuge in Sharp's laundry, and,
failing i'll that, rushed into the
bicycle store OF Thomas La Louer
adjoining. A volley of stones shattered
the windows and the mob burst into the
store, yelling like demons and shower
ing missiles in the direction which Mr..
O'Brien had taken towards the end of
the store. Some ladies and old women
screamed and tainted, while the mob
tumbled pell-mell, helter-skelter over
bicycles and other machinery, smashing
them one against the other in their
savage fury, and amid cries of ''kill the
traitOr,' ''hang him." ''LansdOwne for
ever" .O'Brien, however, was safely
led away by c. G. Casman, an official OF
the crown land department, and reached
the hotel in safety. D.P. Cahill was
knCSked down and received

Police Sergeant Adair got cut in the

LANsDOwNE INTERVIEWED.
In an interview the Marquis of Lans-
dOWne said:
Mr.. O'Brien is laboring under deceptive in
| formation. l have always been disposed tC
| use my tenants with moderation and justice
| have investigated every case where an in
justice was complained of, and l should have
continued to do so had not the land league
| interfered i'll my affairfs. The statement thai
has been made that borrowed money from
the British government under the land i'm
provement act of 1881, and loaned
it to my tenants at increased
| interest, is entirely untrue. The
grandfather in 1s47 of cruel injustice and
| oppression are also false. His tltates were
| depleted and his revenues seriously affected
yet notwithstanding the causes which led to
families who desired to emigrate to Americs
out of his own pocket, or almost wholly a
his personal expense. 1 must decline to dis
cuss O'Brien in any way so far us the pur
pose of his coming to Canada is concerned
